Annona pot culture, recommendations

Yes, nutrient has not changed. At least one pic has uploaded so far, this is a Soursop seedling overdue for upsizing.

This is the A. diversifolia you saw but upsized the pot around a year ago. I've not long pruned a third off of the canopy to keep it manageable in the polyhouse. Should've pruned that lower branch off as well.

Those trees look awesome, thanks for sharing! Have either fruited yet? That last one is a reticulata, not diversifolia.

Sorry, meant reticulata, it flowered last year, expecting fruit this year. Also expecting  a grafted Soursop to flower soon.

More pot culture but  off topic, Papaya doing well also.

Please keep us posted on how those do, I'd love to see how well your method pulls off fruiting annonas in pots. I'd also encourage you to take the time to hand pollinate all of your annonas if you aren't doing so already.

In the previous linked thread there were pics of a sugar apple fruiting. How has that fared, and how were the fruit?  The general idea is that fruiting a smallish tree is terrible for its health, and sets it back a good deal. I'd love to see if holding fruit was particularly stressful on that plant, and how it does this season for you. Thanks again for sharing.

This Javanese sugar apple has produced beautiful large fruit for the past 2yrs.
